Rand is in the snake pit, but does he have any idea how many of us want Israel out of our government? Exposing the insidious, deceptive practices if this unfortunate yet deliberate scourge on the world would be a start. Exposing the forces behind its creation and the banks that are complicit in all this genocide would be a great day. Sorry Rand, didn't you know you can't make everybody happy and you just end up looking like a weak spined ass kiss?

Citizens of this country have a natural/ 9th amendment right to their life, liberty, and property.

All he is doing is defining when life begins. If life begins at conception, then the government has a role to play in protecting the natural right to life the baby has.

I, like many others, believe in a small limited government. The role of the government is to protect our lives, liberties, property, and pursuit of happiness. If our government only did this, then we would be set. So for Rand Paul to support the natural rights of a group that gets murdered, I applaud him for this.

Your confusing Rand's bill which would use the 14th Amendment to trump the rights of the states with Ron's Sanctity of Life Act which would empower the states. If Rand agreed with you, btw, he is sure keeping it a secret. His bill is quite clearly a federal ban.

If you don't think this will restrict the ability of the states to "do what you want," you need to re-read the fourteenth amendment. Since it was ratified in the late 19th century, that was the whole point of that landmark amendment!

Yeah I called Rand's office (202-224-4343). You should do the same. We need to push him to reintroduce the Sanctity of Life Act which would turn the choice back over to the states. The Life at Conception Act will end up pissing off more potential supporters than impressing pro-life conservatives.

Sorry Atkinson but you sir are an idiot!
This is TOTALLY a federal issue. The federal government has a right to protect life. This is one of the few things I hated Ron Paul for..
He like many others claim that "well murder is left to the states!"
Well no state is stupid enough to legalize murder.
But for the sake of argument if Illinois was to legalize murder, would it not be the responsiblity of the federal government to say "HELL NO!"???
Obvious answer is yes.
And yes those mothers are "murderers"! They ordered the baby's death.
Hitler never TECHNICALLY "murdered" anyone either; he simply ordered it.
Can we sympathise with them? Yes of course, especially if they're raped.

Yes an IDIOT!
I'm more sympathetic towards liberals socialist leanings than I am with people who think the Federal government doesn't have a role in things such as slavery or MURDER, because they don't hurt no body.
This is one of the few clear cut cases of things that should not be left to majority rule! Rule of the wolves!

issue. Federalism concerns here are broad and Rand should know better. People should call his office and ask him to remove the bill. It gives the federal government power that it does not have under the constitution.

Aside from the fact that I mistook Rand's abortion bill for the Sanctity of Life Act (which he should have reintroduced instead of the Life at Conception Act) this AIPAC letter is, well, just a letter. Though I am tempted to call his office and ask why he didn't reintroduce Ron's bill.

He didn't reintroduce his dad's bill because he wants a federal ban, using the 14th to trump the rights of the states! Ron's Sanctity of Life Act, by contrast, is quite clearly against a federal ban and hopes to empower the states to wit:

"(2) the Congress recognizes that each State has the authority to protect lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that State."

The letter says "Don't go to the UN". Are all of you big UN supporters? I didn't think so. Rand is not as inconsistent as you're trying to paint him. I'm not saying he's perfect, but neither was Murray Rothbard.

If my comment was based on emotion, clearly yours is as well. You go out of your way to try and insult people, in a way that is not even creative. Normally insults are based on people's inability to control their emotions.
And where in my comment does it appear to show emotion? I don't express my "feelings" at all really.

Keep your pathetic attempts to yourself. You only make yourself look shallow.

All his secret, stealthy, liberty Trojan-horsery, his gamesmanship in his high-level three-dimensional 'liberty-chess' and his much lauded studious master-planned infiltration of the establishment with the ultimate goal of springing a 'liberty-trap', well, it sure is something to behold.

I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out.
